My husband and I stopped here for a lunch date while I was in Dallas for the weekend, and it ended up being the perfect break from the heat after a morning of shopping. I started with an Old Fashioned and an order of tzatziki as an appetizer, and both were excellent. The tzatziki was fresh, creamy, and full of flavor, making it a great way to start the meal. The atmosphere was welcoming, service was pleasant, and it was a great spot to relax before continuing our day. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu if I'm ever back in Dallas. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

I had high hopes for this place, but was disappointed (maybe it was the dish I got). I love Greek and Mediterranean food and was excited to see a gyro plate on the menu. However it was not the thin sliced, tender meat that I'm used to. Instead it was chunks of beef and very chewy. The location and ambiance is great, so overall it was a pleasant experience, but the food was a letdown. read more

Had reservations on a Friday night and had a good time. The drinks from the bar were delicious, we ordered 3 appetizers (beets/hummus/saganaki) and shared swordfish......I couple of minor pet peeves - there were a lot of flies in the restaurant, I'm guessing because they can open the walls to the outside? And although the saganaki tasted great, it wasn't the traditional "OPA!!!" along with the flaming plate reaction I've received at EVERY other greek restaurant I've dined at......disappointing considering it was the first time my girlfriend had saganaki......VERY reasonably priced for Bishop Arts, which is worth noting....we'll definitely return the next time we need to scratch our greek itch read more

My family and I came here after spending an afternoon walking around Bishop Arts. We didn't have reservations and had about 6 people in our party. The host sat us quickly and moved several tables around to accommodate our group. We sat inside because it was a bit warm (and loud) outside. It was very comfortable and the servers were very friendly. I ordered the chicken souvlaki. The serving size was quite generous with deliciously flavored potatoes, well grilled chicken, and a fresh side salad. Everyone was pleased with their meals. They also had delicious cocktails. We will be back! read more

food was amazing and fresh. Wait staff kind but short. For Bishop arts it's a great unique addition, will definitely be back. Only call out is it's a bit loud with the music and tables being so close together. All in all, great experience though read more

Food was definitely 5/5! Service was about a 3/5. Menu boasted a variety of tasty sounding options, including a lot of seafood and dips. Would have been easy to just have all the dips/cold mezzes for a meal. Between 2 people, shared the santorini, swordfish souvlaki, grilled vegetables, and potato wedge/fries. The santorini had great flavor and texture. The swordfish was excellent and super tender (which I don't think about when I think of swordfish). Grilled vegetables and potato wedges were both good in texture and flavors. I would get all of those items again. Service wasn't up to par. We were seated at the bar because we did not have reservations, even though there were a lot of empty tables. We felt like we were pretty neglected at the bar and multiple times, the bartender and server in that area were just on their phones. There were some others that came after us who did not have reservations and were seated at a table. Hopefully it was just an off night for the service. read more

We went super early on a Wednesday. Usually when you go to the restaurant off time you get mediocre service. NOT HERE . They were so welcoming and took amazing care of us. We got the pistachio martini and the coffee martini to start. Then apps were the beet puree, the spicy hummus and the seafood salad. While all were tasty, our fave was the hummus. For entrees we got the lamb chops and the black pepper shrimp: Again all were amazing but we really enjoyed the black pepper shrimp Good wine list Charming atmosphere & a nice patio DEFINITELY worth a stop when you come to Bishop Arts read more

I really wanted to try this spot ever since they opened. Its super cute and has a great location. I found the service ok and the food also ok. With the price being up there it didnt really seem worth it. For the same type of food and hookah, you are better off going to the mayors house. Its not far away and way better. They had a lot of servers walking around but it was still difficult to get what you needed/their attention. I most likely wont return. read more

Up and down. Lamb chops were great. Squid was cold and overcooked. Hugely disappointing as they said it's their signature dish. Whipped feta was bland. The moussaka was beyond salty, barely edible. But again, the lamb was fantastic. Also, the kitchen was terribly slow. Seems like a Greek place that would be in a rural area, not in the middle of Dallas. read more

This new restaurant is in the space formerly called Nora (they've moved) with a lively patio on a corner. It was hot so I wanted something light and I couldn't have been happier with my mixed mezze platter of cold spreads and warm pita. You get four different spreads and all of them were delicious and different from each other. The tzatziki was possibly the best I've ever had. The beet was creative and refreshing. The atom labneh had a slight kick to it. And the eggplant was divine. My date had the beef souvlaki was fantastic and fork tender. Our waitress was Fresia had not only tasted everything on the menu but really likes the food so she was super helpful giving us a great experience. They also had a live DJ playing tunes from the street. I can't wait to go back! read more

Ambience is nice. The food was tasty. Service was quick. There wasn't too many people. The bathrooms were clean.

Food and service are great. Hummus is so yummy. We share a moussaka and was enough for two. The only reason for the 4 star rate is the wine price. $ 48.00 for a 5.99 bottle is a ripoff. read more

Excellent food if not overpriced. Everything here was really good. I had enough food from my gyro platter to take home. Service was fine. Not the best, but not the worst either. The ambience of the restaurant was beautiful. It just kind of blew my mind how expensive everything was there. read more

I walked in already side-eyeing the five-star reviews--most read like bots, all fluff and zero specifics. No one mentions what they actually ate; if you can't name the dish, I'm calling it fake. Then I opened the menu and winced. $25 for a beef gyro and no lamb gyro in sight? Chicken's only a dollar cheaper. The server bragged the portion was "huge," but I don't want a trough--I want a plate I can finish without a take-out box. Pan-seared shrimp: $30, farm-raised, parked on bean purée and a side salad. Food cost maybe $10, yet they slap on a $20 vanity tax. Every entrée feels like a 50 % gouge. Drinks are saner--$14 cocktails--but beer's inflated. I blame the rent. I nursed a German lager that was legitimately great, yet even with the cool room and friendly staff I couldn't hit "order" on dinner. At these prices the food trucks back in New York would laugh--and still undercut them by ten bucks. read more

Really liked having a late lunch early dinner here on a Saturday. We sat outside and enjoyed music from nearby eateries and people watching. The bartender made a nice mocktail and the price was actually reasonable ($7). I had the octopus first and it was Delicious! So moist and flavorful. I loved the octopus so much that I ordered the orzo (because it had octopus in it) and it was also great. I look forward to trying more menu items. My only negative is towards the end the waiter kind of disappeared for a bit and it took a while to get a check (this wasnt too big of an issue considering we were having a leisurely day but could be a problem for otherss). read more

I was excited to try this restaurant, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The food was mediocre and didn't stand out compared to other Greek restaurants I've been to. What made the visit worse was the environment. There were flies flying around our table throughout the meal, which was unpleasant. It was also extremely hot inside the restaurant. It seemed like the AC in the section where we were seated was either broken or turned off, making it uncomfortable to enjoy our meal. I really wanted to like this place, but between the average food and the uncomfortable dining conditions, I don't see myself returning. read more

Really tasty salads and chicken souvlaki! We also got their fried cheese as an appetizer that was enjoyed by the whole table.

Shivani did an UNBELIEVABLE job as our server ... she was very knowledgeable regarding the food items on the menu. The Food is Fabulous! This is a must stop while in the Bishop Arts District! read more

Amazing experience. Love Eva and Duygu !! I will come back all the time!! The food and the drinks was beyond my expectations.

Although the food was pretty tasty, the overall experience was a total let down. I had the chicken souvlaki. $24 dollars for one skewers worth of chicken, a scoop of rice and a small side salad was disappointing. There was a 10 minute wait between when the first plate was served and the last, our party of 5 got to watch everyone's food go cold before the final person got their meal. The drinks, while tasty and unique, seemed to not have much of substance about them. The server did not catch multiple items ordered, and when asked about them again they wouldnt take it off the check, they just brought it to go after we were done eating, when it was asked for with the food. They seem more focused on making the place photo worthy, but they could definitely improve the service in the front of the house. read more

The food here is 100% worth coming to try. I want to come back to try their deserts as the bartender said they have their own bakery. The bread, moussaka, Santorini appetizer were fantastic. I don't want to overhype it. Bartender was nice. Place looks clean inside. read more

Great food and service! The one man band was very good. We took our guest from out of town and they loved it.

My friend and I braved a cold and rainy day to have lunch at this warm and welcoming taste of Greece. Our server Sofia was an angel but I was so disappointed to not find any Spanakopita or Soupa Avgolemono on this allegedly Greek restaurant's menu! Salmon fillet was cooked to perfection, so no complaints there. Elia sounds Greek, looks Greek, but doesn't serve those signature Greek dishes. read more

I love Greek food! The staff worked very hard to please us, and the food was flavorful.

10/10 experience with Elias Greek tavern The food was excellent and my server Melisa Guided me through the whole menu I end up ordering beef svloaki and she also suggested the pistachio cloud and it was delicious. Definitely going back soon !! read more

Early dinner on a Friday evening was a truly lovely experience. The ambiance is wonderful ~ you really feel like you're dining somewhere in Greece with warm and inviting servers. The food was simply delicious. We started with one warm and one cold appetizer to accompany the fabulous bread and olives and olive oil they brought to us right away. We had a dry white wine from Greece that was light and lovely too. For our entrees - I had the lamb shank on orzo - so tender and flavorful - definitely falls into the "I could not or would not make this for myself at home category" ! Friends ordered the grilled shrimp - truly a gorgeous presentation with 6 or 7 very large shrimp and a generous side of a yummy fresh kale salad. Another ordered the moussaka and devoured it. I will definitely be back to experience more! Might try sitting on the heated patio next time as it had a great vibe too! read more
